Unresponsive on/off button sometimes...

I find that my Minis' on/off button is unresponsive occasionally and I was wondering if anyone else felt theres was also?
Ive only had this issue when the phones locked and I bring it in and out of showing me my status. It appears the bottom icons have to light up before it will react to my press of the on/off button again.

Same for me ! Sometime I need to remove battery to restart using my HD MINI ...
Any solution ?

I have the same problem, sometimes, the button is not responsive. There should be a solution for it. Someone has to report to htc.

I have the same problem, i think that it is caused by either to many running applications or by a application that hangs.
for the most i just have to wait a minute or two and then it works again.
Last time i connected the charger, it also worked and i have also tried to call the phone from another phone. it also worked.

yes... I think it's because of many programs... I have this when I'm doing something and I push the button fast to turn of the screen and suddenly remember I forgot something and push it again to turn on... I think It's normal!!

sometimes it's anything but normal, but i found a soft reset (or hard reset for that matter) often is the solution. So it's most likely an application or process that hangs, leaving it for a few minutes and then trying to unlock it usually does the trick

[Q] Kindle seems dead

I used it this morning to listen to music while getting ready for work just like any other day. When I turned it off it has about 65% batter left and I set it on my counter. Came home at lunch and it would not turn on. I plugged in the charger and got no response from the device, no orange light nothing.
I brought it to work and it has been plugged in for almost an hour now and it still has no orange light on it and it will not turn on. Any suggestions for what to do or what might have happened?

I've had that happen twice with mine so far the fix is easy though:
Press and hold the power button for 20 seconds.
Press the power button again and it should come one.
Hopefully that fixes it for you.

Dude you are a FREAKING life saver!! I really thought it was dead, but when I did this it turned on just fine and was almost fully charged as well. Wonder what causes this? Any ideas?
Anyway, thanks!!

I would think it's some kind of problem, regardless. Software or hardware, who knows. Basically the 20 second power button as I understand it is just a hard reset akin to a battery pull.

It's definitely a problem but it's not a problem with just his Fire; it's happened to me twice. Once when I turned off the Fire while playing a game (not a hard power off, just a quick power button tap) and again when another app crashed.

This happens to some other android devices. I think its an issue in some gingerbread builds where the device wont wake from sleep.

This has been happening to me frequently since the 6.2 update.

just for the record I too have experienced this problem. freaked me out that is for sure. glad to see others have seen this, and hopefully it will be fixed. at least its pretty easy to resolve the issue when it occurs.

it's useful topic for me.

Kindle Dead
This is happening every day now. Is there a fix? I'm not sure what the frequency is or why, but once or twice a day is becoming the norm...it's frustrating
Rooted Kindle
Go Launcher
Android market Apps, etc.

Try disabling wifi and see if the problem goes away.

kindle dead not wifi related
Thanks for the suggestion. I disabled wifi and waited 3 hours; dead Kindle. I'll try anything...please help as it's quite a nuisance.
Thanks

Is this happening to only rooted Kindle's? I'm getting one from the wife for Xmas and was wondering if this is happening to stock fires as well.

This only seems to happen to be when i am not using the factory supplied power supply. You guys still getting this using the factory plug?

My Kindle totally dead. I can't repair it. I can't get acces to adb shell. Nothing. this is really sad.

Dead Kindle
Try holding down power button 20 secs then re-press it...works for me

I had this happen to me while I was in a work meeting on Friday. Thankfully I found this thread so I learned about the 20 second hold down thing. It worked like a charm and I have only had it happen once. For the record I am not, nor have ever, rooted the Fire.
It was pretty discouraging to be sitting in the meeting with a "dead" Fire and unable to look at the manual to see how to factory reset it because, well, the manual is included in the Fire....
man, I hate irony.

Same problem here. Several times it has been dead now. This morning again and the power had fallen without showing any steps for about 10 per cent. Wifi was switched off.
Any more ideas?

Now it happend two times in a row. After this night again it was "dead" in the morning. Are there any ideas what might be wrong with the device? (rooted, wifi off, ADW launcher, but not activated, some google apps like market)
Any ideas what could be done?

It only happens to mine (rooted, adb, Go Launcher) when I put it to sleep while it is in "Go Launcher", if I put it to sleep from Kindle Launcher it wakes right up. Hope this helps.

[Q] Weird issues - Touch lockups, presses buttons on its own etc

Having some weird issues. Sorry if this has been posted before, I have searched but hard to narrow down.
Not sure if this is a hard/soft issue but its happened for long time even on clean installs on all CM roms I have tried.
My nexus seems to randomly go crazy where all of a sudden touch will lock up or have serious delay or it will just start pressing buttons on its own without any interaction and only way to solve is to power off as power menu will just dissapear so cant hot reboot or anything else.
Does it sound familiar to anybody or anybody know of cause/solution?

Does this happen only while plugged in? using a different charger may be the issue.
Else there should be a problem with the digitizer!

No it happens randomly whether charger is in or not. Thankfully it doesnt happen often but every once in a while and just need to reboot.

Something like this happening with me, only on a Secondary User when the Immersive Mode is activated. My touchscreen looks up while using Play Books or MX Player. I've made a video about it as well.

Nexus 4 screen freezes randomly, no reaction when touching.

Hi everyone!
So I just had this problem after I woke up yesterday. I googled a lot but only found similiar problems.
Let me tell you what happened chronologically:
After turning the phone on in the morning it started updating apps as if I was doing a firmware update: "updating apps 1 of 135" etc. Note that my nexus was already running on 5.1.1 and had the latest updates installed.
Now it randomly freezes the screen on whatever screen it was before it happens and it won't respond to any touch input. This can also happen when not using the phone, then it will freeze at the lockscreen (the time freezes with it so sometimes i can see at what time it froze). Also, it loses connection with Wi-Fi as i'm using Whatsapp Desktop when i'm on my laptop and it mentions me that my phone is not connected.
The only thing that "fixes" (temporarily) it is a reboot. Now sometimes, on the lockscreen, i can just hold the power button and the pop-up comes in to turn the phone of, which i can somehow just tap on an it responds by turning the phone off. But sometimes (less frequent than the latter mentioned) the pop-up doesn't come in and holding the power button for a few secs will do the trick.
I hope I informed you all enough and my end question is: does any of you know what this is? How i can fix it or what i can do to prevent it or anything as I am hopeless. (my G3 is up for reparation so this is my sisters old phone, i had a nexus 4 myself for 2 years before the G3).
Thanks in advance!!

The best way to test it is by reformat the OS.
I positively think that it will solve the problem.
Since the phone is no longer under warranty, I guess there is no harm to install custom rom on it. They are fast and stable too.
Hope this help. Good luck.

EXACT thing happened to me too. Backup your data and hard reset from recovery. This fixed it for me

Same problem here bro, but neither custom roms or factory reset helps.... Is there anyone who has successfully solved the problem ?

Then it's time to change the screen or phone. Looks like it is a hardware issue.

I agree, your screen needs to be replaced.

Touch to show doesn't work sometimes.

Anyone else see this? Usually works that all of a sudden I need to press the power button to turn the phone on.

I think I have found the issue.
I believe it's pocket mode and the sensor stops reading and thinks it's covered

Yeah. It happens to me every so often. See this thread, https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/help/lock-screen-freezes-t3869001. It was really starting to get bad when I was on 9.0.6. Sometimes even hitting the power button wouldn't wake it immediately. I'd have to hit it a few times, which would then trigger the camera. Since I updated to 9.0.7, it hasn't happened as frequently, maybe only a couple of times. I hadn't considered it possibly being related to pocket mode since I notice it mostly when I pick up the phone off of my desk.

Yeah I take the pocket mode comment back. I only noticed it happening the device was covered but it has happened the times within two days where the device is out on my desk. I can't find a cause or pattern it's just annoying.
